Arduino barometer
Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2015 8:02 am
Hi all,
First post so here goes!
I am trying to make the Arduino barograph from the April 2015 issue, however for the life of me I can't get it to work.
I am using an Arduino UNO and a Panel B KS0108 128x64 LCD display and a BMP180.
I worked out that the display was a Panel B from the PDF in the doc's of the glcd-v3-20111205.zip file. I have tried putting the barograph together from figure 1 of the project notes without success, so I thought lets check the UNO and board so I made up the circuit from the schematic in the GLCD_Documentation.pdf for the Panel B display compiled and uploaded an example script and hey presto it works , but compiling and uploading the barometer script - NOTHING.
I am not a programmer, but thinking logically (I think!) my problem may be with the GLCD_Arduino.h (but I may be wrong !!) In the project notes there is a reference to this library needing to be changed because the BMP180 needs to be connected to A4 and A5, the EN port of the display needs changing. Would I be right in thinking that the library may also need amending due to fact the display is a Panel B and it was originally written for a Panel A display or are there more changes needed?
Has anyone else had any problems with this or can anyone suggest anything I may be doing wrong?
Many thanks
David
